Allergy Testing and Treatment: NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique) is a unique, effective and lasting allergy detection and treatment method specifically oriented toward the exact allergy factors affecting your pet. Many owners notice powerful results from the very first treatment.  As food and environmental irritations are eliminated from the nervous system, greater strength and vitality will be reflected in happier and healthier pets. Conditions commonly treated with NAET can be: food allergy/any allergy, chronic skin conditions, thyroid imbalances and behavioral issues. Please visit www.vetnaet.com for more information.

Acupuncture: This ancient healing art is performed utilizing the safest and most modern tools available. By combining TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) concepts with the most up to date research avaiable in the filed, individualized treatment programs will be geared to obtain immediate and comprehensive results to achieve maximum health. Conditions in animals commonly treated with acupuncture are: kidney deficiency, structural injury, hip dysplasia, arthritis, diabetes, neurological events and more.

Bio-Kinetics: An unusual system of nervous system stimulation that locates energy blockages and interference and then actively restores energy flow throughout the physical and energy body. Bio-Kinetics stimulates the thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum ( the deep brain centers) immediately and directly, thereby increasing nerve and hormonal activity immediately. You will see results in just one treatment, although up to three treatments are usually recommended. Conditions commonly treated with B-K are: any internal problem that is manifesting through the neuro-muscular system, such as strains and lameness that are not fracture related and spasms related to spinal nerves.

Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation: A healing technology similar to veterinary chiropractic in that it restores function by reducing “subluxations” in the skeletal structure. It provides accurate and precise motion to specific joints along your pet’s spine or extremities, and if a joint is out of alignment, VOM can detect and reduce it quickly and without pain or injury. Conditions routinely treated with VOM are: acute and non-acute lameness, Hip Dysplasia-like symptoms, progressive myelopathies, behavioral problems, lick granulomas of the skin, urinary and fecal incontinence, and more.

Nutritional and Herbal Medicine: Herbal and Nutritional medicine are increasingly being recognized as a gentle and cost effective alternative to pharmaceuticals. Nutrients are the essential building blocks of a healthy body. Nutritional recommendations, from dietary changes to nutritional supplementation are based on years of study, research and up to date information regarding pet nutrition and health. Herbal medicine is an ancient art that can create change at the chemical/blood level, much in the same way drugs can, but without the side effects that drugs can cause. Herbs may be recommended to enhance or complete a therapeutic program for your pet.

Homeopathy: Homeopathy is a system of treatment whereby a single or combination remedy is selected to treat an individual pet with a condition based on the unique presentation of your pet. The individual and distinctive constitution and symptomology of your pet is considered above all, and the remedy is chosen to match that unique configuration. There is no one homeopathic remedy for "cystitis" of "bronchitis" or any other condition. The inidividuality of the case and presentation is what guides the selection of the remedy. Conditions commonly treated with homeopathy are: vaccine reactions, recurrent cystits, skin conditions, hyperthyroidism and adrenal or thyroid exhaustion.
